EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - the capture of the North Fort in Tianjin, China. The panoramic view beautifully captures the aftermath of this event, showcasing the interior of the fort with remarkable detail and precision. The photograph was taken by Felice Beato, an Italian-born English photographer renowned for his pioneering work in documenting conflicts and historical events. Collaborating with Henry Hering, a British artist known for his architectural illustrations, they created this stunning albumen silver print on August 21st, 1860. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when tensions were high and battles were fought. The remnants of war can be seen scattered throughout the fort's interior - broken walls, debris strewn across the floor - serving as haunting reminders of its recent capture. The composition skillfully captures both grandeur and desolation simultaneously. The vastness of space is emphasized through its panoramic format while also highlighting intricate details that draw our attention closer. It allows us to immerse ourselves in every nook and cranny within these ancient walls. Through this powerful image, we are reminded not only of humanity's capacity for destruction but also our ability to document history through artistry and innovation. This print serves as a testament to both Beato's exceptional talent behind the lens and Hering's artistic vision that brings life to moments frozen in time.
